SUMMARY

The U.S. Department of Defense refutes claims that Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to resign for a Tennessee gubernatorial run. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”

Two anonymous sources claim Hegseth discussed a potential campaign, including eligibility requirements, within the past three weeks. However, a person close to Hegseth said he was “very, very clear” that running is “totally off the table.” Tennessee’s GOP chairman, Scott Golden, noted no discussions about Hegseth’s candidacy have occurred.
